How often do you dive down rabbit holes?

After reflecting on recent essays, I thought it would be useful to make a single webpage with literature on echo chambers & rabbit holes.

Know of a useful paper on this topic that I should include? Let me know.

How could they put up with such things in the past!!!

How are we putting up with such things now?

"We have neglected airborne diseases like covid and flu for far too long"

"Now that we understand our mistakes there is no excuse"

How is the reporting on the current state of the pandemic? Did you know that the pandemic is still going on? Are we getting the same information?

This is a good starting point for thinking through this question.

"Journalism has a funding problem. Journalists are losing their jobs as a result. News businesses have tried various models to sustain their operations, while the Australian government has also attempted to address it through initiatives like the News Media Bargaining Code and the News Media Assistance Program.

One underexplored funding strategy for journalism is the youtuber business model. The growth of youtuber journalism indicates that this is a viable option for funding video journalism, especially long-form journalism."

for future #POL204 students:
- visit your local library! some readings won’t be accessible online through the UOW library, try checking your local library for them
- otherwise, you can inter-borrow books from other libraries through UOW
- you also might want to start looking at the readings a week ahead of time so that you can access some of them (don't stress if you can't get them tho)
- if you can go to the lectures in-person, definitely do so!

good luck, you got this!! xo
